Best Cabin Camping near Needles, CA

Several campgrounds near Needles, California offer furnished cabin rentals with varying amenities. Needles KOA provides small cabins with air conditioning, essential during summer when temperatures regularly exceed 100°F. Pirate Cove Resort features themed cottages described by one visitor as "beautiful" with an "inviting on-site restaurant." Needles Marina Resort offers cabin rentals with access to sandy beaches along the Colorado River. Most cabins include electricity and basic furnishings, while some provide kitchenettes or mini-refrigerators. According to one camper at Needles Marina Resort, "This place has exceeded [expectations] by all means. The bathroom was immaculate as can be."

Rustic and deluxe cabin options accommodate different needs, from basic log cabins to fully furnished units. Davis Camp Park in nearby Mohave County offers riverside cabins that "are always booked up so if that's what you're after make sure to book in advance," notes one reviewer. Lake Havasu State Park Campground provides air-conditioned cabins, particularly valuable during hot summer months. Most properties are pet-friendly, though specific policies vary by location. KOA cabins typically feature bunk beds ideal for families, as one visitor mentioned: "We got a KOA basic cabin which fit my husband and I and a bunk bed which our son loved." Advance reservations are strongly recommended, especially during peak seasons from fall through spring when milder temperatures attract more visitors.

Cabin guests should plan to bring their own bedding, pillows, and towels as these items are rarely provided. Basic cooking equipment may be available in some units, though many visitors prefer using on-site restaurants or grills. The Needles KOA camp store stocks essential food items and supplies, while larger grocery options require a drive to neighboring communities. During summer months when temperatures regularly exceed 110°F, air conditioning becomes essential rather than optional. Cell service varies significantly between properties, with T-Mobile offering good coverage at Needles KOA but limited or no service at other locations like Pirate Cove. Most cabin rentals include access to shared bathroom facilities with showers, though some premium units feature private bathrooms.

    Kingman KOA

    Overnighter

    The people at the Kingman Koa were very nice and accommodating. Rv spots are all dirt but surrounded by trees and bushes for some privacy. Bathrooms were older but clean. There is a cute dog park with a few tunnels to climb on, but no grass. A bunch to do for kids. They have a nice playground, mini golf, horse shoes, and a pool. The pool was good side but the water was alittle merky.

    Adorable mini log cabins for rent.

    Overall good place for short trips. Tucked in a neighborhood and close to retail and town. Propane fill up available on site.

    Lake Havasu State Park Campground

    Arizona State Beach

    Camped here  April 28 and stayed for 2 nights. Was very close to home but wanted to test out the new trailer. It's $30 a night for non beach sites and $40 for beach front. The sites are well separated and there are fire rings, cabana and picnic tables at each site. There is also water and electric at all sites, 30 and 50 amp.  Its was very warm the days we stayed and had the A/C on the whole time. There are flush toilets and showers available. Nice hiking trails around the park. The campground staff are all pleasant and they keep the sites and bathrooms very clean. Its even close enough to town that you can walk to many nice restaurants. The beach's are sandy and you have a nice view of the sunset over the water in the evening. There is a dump station for those with holding tanks. All sites are reservable and there are also air conditioned cabins for rent.

    Needles KOA

    desert camping you have to pay for

    ok ok ok... this place does offer a lot!!! A clean blue swimming pool, laundry, showers, and bathrooms. each camp spot has pads, bbq grills, and water sources, some also offer a little covered canopy which is needed out here. In case you want to stay in a cabin, they have small cabins available to rent. This place has a variety of games around that can be fun for groups. I gave it a 4 only because it's really nothing special besides the amenities they could for sure have put some nice trees in to make it more shade for guest.

    Davis Camp Park - Mohave County

    Waterfront campsites

    Loved being able to set up our Napier Sportz tent with our Subaru at the river's edge on the Colorado River just outside of Bullhead City, Az. (across from Laughlin, NV). So clear! Lots of families with jet skis, which we found entertaining although noisy. We just parked our beach chairs in the water as it was hot!! Bath and showers ok, but a hike up the stairs. Pet friendly, too!

    Desert View RV Resort

    Feels very private!

    This site is a walk away from Needles KOA, so if you need anything small, it's a very short walk to their store (where they carry some foods and drinks).

    This campground is also a very close walk to the Colorado River, and the River Front Cafe which has some pretty great food if you don't feel like you want to cook.

    This campground has huge bushes and trees in between each RV station and gives you the feeling like it's totally private. It also gives you some extra sun protection and shade, making your camper feel cooler.

    It has a pool and laundry mat on site, but I didn't see much else.

    Desert View RV Resort

    Well the name says it all

    Gravel roads and oleanders between each site for total privacy. You are in the desert but they have made this place feel like you are not in the desert. Each site is pull through and has a pavement slab for table or chairs, water, sewer and 50 amp hook ups. On property they offer showers, T-Mobile phone service, dump station, picnic tables, toilets, WiFi and trash. Pets are allowed! Yayyy... Reservations can be made.

    Needles Marina Resort

    Everything one could need

    Cool Little Spot !! Talk about clean! This place has exceeded that by all means. The bathroom was immaculate as can be. With kids if the bathroom isn’t clean our babies are not going in. Super dope place right on the river with little sandy beaches on the river and a cool water inlet that is surrounded by grass for a fun family day. This entire place has hook ups and group areas available. They do have cabin rentals as well. Grocery store Golf across the street Tennis courts

    Here are my star ratings based on my lifestyle and what I like. I'm also a mother, dog mama, and a wife so it's not just me it's my crew and i. 1 star- AUTOMATIC relocate... the property is no longer there, trashed or/and I could never have my children there and I wouldn't ever think about staying no matter what OR its not something us campers are on this is more of an airbnb. 2 star- Not really my jam, and would NEVER go to again... It probably more of desert life and not really my style for sure...Being from Vegas I can't stand being in the desert and I love the Trees and the Green more than anything. 3 star- Would stay there again in a pinch, but not really my style, the reason its not is because not enough family things to do, the scenery, or the location... but I would go again and feel safe having my kiddos here but only if I needed to in a pinch. 4 star- a really good rating for sure, maybe needed some improvements, minor things like being on top of each other, not a lot of privacy, but honestly little cosmetic things that aren't anything to sweat and would be back again for sure. 5 star- MY FAVORITE... love the location, safety, the surroundings, big camp spots available to fit toys for my kids to play, hammocks to hang, our big family tent, cases of firewood, our suburban or RV, etcccccc..... I would not only come back but would live if I could!!! Anyway thanks for reading and enjoy every moment like it's your last! CHEERS!

    River Island State Park Campground

    Beautiful and (mostly) quiet

    Due to its location, it is pretty quiet. However, because of the cliffs on two sides, noises can be amplified (like the person who used an impact drill for their jacks on their fifth wheel to leave at 7am).

    Pros:

    • Tucked away, but right off the highway.
    • Congenial ranger to check us in.
    • Fairly big space, with enough room for slideouts and our awning. Though it did feel like our awning was just slightly in the roadway due to angle.
    • $30/night for most sites.
    • Beautiful sunrises/sunsets.
    • Boat launch ramp.
    • Picnic table and grill included at most sites.

    Cons:

    • Wifi is spotty, even the ranger was up front about it. Add in folks trying to stream and hogging bandwidth...
    • Our T-Mobile cel phones had no reception at all. We could use the wifi, but could not get calls or texts. Not sure of other providers.
    • This is partial hookup (water/electric) with a dump station, like most of the state parks on the Colorado River.

    Kingman KOA

    Wonderful for kids

    This a great experience since we were originally not planning on camping on our way back to California, but it got late and we were tired.we got a KOA basic abin which fit my husband and I and a bunk bed which our son loved. The campground also had a pool, hot tub , play ground, mini golf and a little train that kids to ride in around the park starting at 9:30am. I am glad we stayed here, it was a wonderful experience. The staff was friendly and helpful and the on site store had everything you could need. Like all KOA’s the showers and bathrooms were like nice hotel rooms.
